First, my name is Marin, I'm from Slovenia (that's in Europe), and I'm 23 years old (young).

So, what brings me here?

I'm a E36 nut. I just bought my third E36, so I could convert it into a race (drift) car.

My first BMW was a 320. Second one a 325(with no engine), and my current one is a 316 with a 318is engine. All three 4-door saloons.

Since I was a little short on cash, I bought the first one for 200$, and after that the second one for 300$.

And, what did I get for that money? To be honest - not much.
Red one is my first E36, and the green one is the second:

It took me two massive bumps in the head to figure out that buying cheap isn't the best option. So, i finally bought an complete, mechanically intact, well equipped car. And I paid it just 700$. (yea, E36 cars are cheap as hell here)

The good thing is, I've found a great job, with a great salary, so I can spend more on my project. (Having 2 kids, girlfriend in college, a dog, and an old house shows its toll on my account)
